he can be very good as he was against gingrich in florida. >> okay. maria, let's pretend you're a republican strategist. so barack obama supposedly every third question is going to mention this 47% thing. so what would be a good way to combat that for mitt romney? >> well, i think that what he has started to do is something that he should continue to do, which is talk about the 100%. he should not get into trying to explain the 47% because that's just going to be a loser for him. the problem, though, and, again, what i mentioned earlier that there is this narrative and this image of mitt romney that has already cemented in voters' minds. and frankly the 47% comment why it was so damaging is because that wasn't a surrogate, that wasn't a democratic strategist or the obama campaign saying that about mitt romney, that was mitt romney saying that about mitt romney. so he should try to focus as much and pivot to talk about the 100% and be specific. because that is what has been missing from what his plans are versus what the president's are for the middle
